00:00Previously...
00:04Movie night!
00:06An island movie date.
00:08Oh my god, stop it!
00:10Shoot!
00:11I wouldn't mind looking at that every day.
00:13Wouldn't mind waking up to that every day.
00:15Look at me go.
00:16Spilled speed dating secrets.
00:19Here's my physical type.
00:21This isn't used to me.
00:23I'm not jealous. I don't get jealous in relationships.
00:25I'm really comfortable in my own skin.
00:27And couples code.
00:28Welcome! Welcome to couples code.
00:32Went from zero to awkward.
00:34I really want to talk about movie night.
00:36Really?
00:38I could definitely sense a little bit of jealousy there.
00:41When Emmanuel called out Sam.
00:43I feel like...
00:44Let me take this. This is me, yeah?
00:46You don't really like to let it talk to you.
00:47Would you say, like, I'm not trying to speak for you here,
00:49so feel free to jump in.
00:50My partner is just sat there with her lips closed.
00:54I don't want to be with her. I don't want to be near her.
00:56I don't want to be around her. I don't want to borrow her.
00:57I don't want to borrow her.
00:59Coming up next...
01:01Jess and Sam struggle to stay afloat.
01:04When's your wedding ring?
01:06I understand you wanted this to work.
01:09And so have I.
01:11And a double date...
01:15Welcome, welcome, welcome!
01:20Puts Tom in the hot seat.
01:23I really think that Tom has to grow a bit of a backbone.
01:27Are you feeling relationship or friendship at this present moment?
01:31Do you feel attracted to annoy?
01:36Yeah.
01:39And then something unthinkable is on its way.
01:44What the hell?
01:46We have an out here.
01:48And for someone, the honeymoon is over.
01:52The honeymoon island experience has almost reached its halfway point.
02:09Our couples have now been stranded for 10 days.
02:13And one of our brides has woken up this morning feeling frustrated.
02:20Me and Byron have not had sex yet.
02:27Sexless marriage? Nah.
02:29I don't think I've ever met a guy who doesn't want to...
02:41Take my clothes off.
02:42Oh, I miss it.
02:44In recent days, Brie and Byron's affection levels have stalled.
02:48It's just hard to hear from a girl as a girl
02:50that, like, the guy that you're dating, married to,
02:54spending a lot of time with... Yeah.
02:56..doesn't think about you sexually.
02:57I just want to keep on getting to know you, you know?
02:59Yeah.
03:00Like, I feel like that's where my intimacy grows, you know?
03:02Yeah, yeah.
03:03Absolutely.
03:04That's where I find attraction.
03:07And despite agreeing to a slow burn,
03:10Brie's starting to wonder if it's ever going to happen.
03:14It's weird.
03:16I especially like sleeping in a bed with him all night.
03:19Yeah.
03:21Now the fun part.
03:23That's no good.
03:24I don't want him to think that I'm some sort of sex maniac or anything.
03:30But I definitely think in a relationship,
03:34sexual compatibility is just so important for it to work.
03:37The backspin.
03:39We are halfway.
03:41And, like, if he doesn't want to, like, it's not going to work.
03:44I'm not going to waste my time here.
03:45That's a hole in one.
03:48Measure that.
03:52While Brie is preoccupied with the idea of a roll in the sand with Byron.
04:02Good morning.
04:04Good morning.
04:06Our other couples are starting the day with their own frustrations about island life.
04:14What an annoying way to wake up.
04:16My bug just flew up my nose.
04:22Your yawns always have to be tough.
04:24That's it.
04:26But the big topic on everyone's minds
04:29is yesterday's tumultuous and explosive Couples Cove.
04:34Couples Cove.
04:36It was, um, extra emotionally draining.
04:39And we were sitting, like, right in the middle.
04:41And then the drama was just going around that way and then back that way and back that way.
04:45And just, like, sitting back and watching it explode.
04:48Oh, my God.
04:49Sam's a shit-stirer, to be honest.
04:52Emmanuel was my type.
04:54And it's been what I've been going for for the last four or something years.
04:59And...
05:01Wasn't in the top three, guys. Just Sapphire.
05:03Didn't make it.
05:05And we, yeah.
05:07And I felt...
05:08I feel like...
05:09Let me take this. This is me, yeah?
05:12You don't really like to let it talk to you.
05:14Would you say, like, I'm not trying to speak for you here, so feel free to jump in.
05:22Sam has been disrespectful to Jess.
05:25Jess, yeah, is very much a match for me that I need rather than I want.
05:32And I'm a compassionate person and it doesn't make me feel good to see Sam talk down on Jess like this at all.
05:38You are making her feel uncomfortable right now.
05:41You don't even let your wife speak.
05:44Is that how you feel?
05:48I'll wake up.
05:50I've got a manual telling me that I'm not letting my partner speak at all.
05:54Are you going to say...
05:56Thanks.
05:58And to top it off, my partner, my partner is just sat there with her lips closed.
06:06This, for me, is a total deal breaker.
06:09This is a deal breaker.
06:10I'm saying right now, I don't want to be with her.
06:12I don't want to be near her.
06:13I don't want to be around her.
06:14I don't want to borrow her.
06:16How do you think Sam and Jess would have went when they got back to their island?
06:23I don't know.
06:24The way that he addresses Jess and the way that he talks over her, you know, publicly in front of everybody was horrendous.
06:32Like, we can all see it.
06:34Yeah.
06:35I just did not like the way Sam was talking over Jess, you know.
06:40I just wanted to, I wanted him to understand that and just address it, you know, because I don't think Sam is treating her fairly.
06:48It's hard for me to befriend someone who hasn't, doesn't have respect for, you know.
06:54Fair to say Sam really needs to do some self-work and Jess needs to run.
06:57I'm feeling pretty rough after Couples Cove.
07:14I understand that Sam feels hurt and he feels attacked, but his reaction was so abrasive, it was so snappy, and I felt really stuck.
07:28I don't know where we're at, to be honest, but he's obviously angry at me.
07:36I got really worked up yesterday.
07:40I was f***ing hated.
07:43Because I feel like I'd been fully stabbed in the back by my partner.
07:48Jess didn't step up when Emmanuel started to tell me that I'd been cutting her off the whole time.
07:54How'd you sleep?
07:56Okay.
07:57How did you sleep?
07:59Yeah, well, considering Couples Cove.
08:03Another banger.
08:05Oh yeah.
08:07What a hoot.
08:08It really upset me.
08:09I feel humiliated and embarrassed.
08:12I felt like my partner just left me hanging out to dry.
08:15Things really went pear-shaped on the back end of yesterday for me.
08:19Me too.
08:21Where's your wedding ring?
08:23Oh, it's in my pocket.
08:27Did you take it off on purpose?
08:29It fell off this morning.
08:31Do you feel like I wasn't letting you speak yesterday?
08:35There's only once that I thought you didn't let me speak.
08:38Okay.
08:39So just to be clear, there was only one point in yesterday's entirety that you felt like I didn't let you speak.
08:46Correct?
08:47Yeah, correct.
08:48Correct.
08:50Do you feel like that wasn't the time for you to potentially say, hey, Emmanuel, don't speak for me and don't speak for my partner?
08:56Sam hasn't done that.
08:59Do you not think that that was the time to maybe go, whoa, pull the brakes?
09:02I was shocked then.
09:03I was shocked.
09:04I'm sorry that I didn't step in for you then.
09:07Cool.
09:08I just need to know this because moving forward, like if those situations come up, I can expect my partner to be in shock and to not be ready to step up for me.
09:20I wasn't on my game right then.
09:23I would have questioned him.
09:25You seem to be getting really defensive right now.
09:29Like I'm just trying to, we haven't spoken about this.
09:34I was attacked.
09:36I was blindsided.
09:38And the worst part of it all was by this, by you.
09:43I feel like in the moment you set out to hurt me and hats off to you, you've done a great job.
09:48Yesterday I felt like that my partner might have been a wolf in sheep clothing.
09:55That's how it came across to me.
09:59Have I made you think that?
10:01No, not, yeah, yesterday.
10:02Yeah, yesterday you did.
10:04I'm just, I'm being completely honest with you.
10:08How did this happen, Jess?
10:09Like how did this happen?
10:10And why did you not say anything?
10:12I wasn't.
10:13Jess, I'm not, I'm not saying.
10:15Can you just stop?
10:16Like you're actually speaking over me now.
10:17Okay.
10:18Stop.
10:21So how do we, how do you move forward?
10:22How do I move forward?
10:24Focus on the present.
10:25Right, the present right now.
10:26That's it. Don't worry about that other stuff.
10:28I made a mistake.
10:29You felt attacked.
10:30I'm really sorry about that.
10:31I'm not trying to talk over you.
10:32I'm not trying to talk at you.
10:33I'm trying to just say my piece like you are, Jess.
10:36You know, I understand you wanted this to work and so have I.
10:40But right now, with how I was left to hang out to dry like that yesterday,
10:45I am really hurt.
10:46Like I'm really hurt.
10:48I feel like there's no trust between us.
10:52How do I come back from this?
10:59I need a minute.
11:01I need a minute.
11:02I need a minute.
11:03I need a minute.
11:04I need a minute.
11:05I need a minute.
11:06I need a minute.
11:07I need a minute.
11:08I need a minute.
11:09I need a minute.
11:10I need a minute.
11:11I need a minute.
11:12I need a minute.
11:13I need a minute.
11:14I need a minute.
11:15I need a minute.
11:16I need a minute.
11:17I need a minute.
11:18I need a minute.
11:19I need a minute.
11:20I need a minute.
11:21I need a minute.
11:22I need a minute.
11:23I need a minute.
11:24I need a minute.
11:25I need a minute.
11:26I need a minute.
11:27I need a minute.
11:28I need a minute.
11:29I need a minute.
11:31At the moment, I feel really emotionally and mentally drained and super confused.
11:50That conversation, it definitely felt like the breakup conversation to me.
11:55Look, I still am hopeful about the relationship, like, when it comes to the relationship with Sam, but I'm not going to be in a relationship where someone thinks I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing.
12:06It's just, I can't do that.
12:08So, unless we figure out a way to get on the same page together, I don't know how we can move forward.
12:15I don't know how we can move forward.
12:45This kind of changes things for me.
12:50You're making noises like you couldn't do it.
12:56Yeah.
12:57And therefore, you know, you're about to bail.
13:02Jess, after what's just happened, like, a lot has changed, like, a lot changed.
13:06My emotions are high.
13:08I'm clearly quite sensitive.
13:11I can be emotionally reactive and eruptive at times.
13:16But, you know, I want to be here for this.
13:18And I want you to realise that I want to be back where we were before Couples Cove.
13:26Yeah, me too.
13:30So, I want to know from you what you're comfortable with both of us doing, both of us bringing the table, to move forward.
13:38Yeah.
13:39There is something I will need from you.
13:41For me, it's going to be a commitment from you that you'll have that voice to be next to me that goes,
13:50I don't feel like Sam talks over me or never lets me get a word in.
13:55That would be huge for me to know that I can trust you and that your intentions are genuine and clear.
14:00Because, for me, from where I stand, I'm still confused, sort of, by it.
14:08The straw that broke the camel's back for me was feeling like my partner didn't have my back.
14:15I was accused of not allowing my partner a voice.
14:20And that really hurt me because I tend to think I've got a fairly decent sense of making sure that my partner is heard.
14:27And it sounds like I'm this bully boy partner of Jess's that never lets her speak.
14:34And that's just not the case.
14:36I'll need to know that you're going to be there for me to right this shift.
14:44If this narrative comes up again, I've got to hear, I've got to hear Jess shut it down immediately.
14:49As Jess and Sam continue to navigate their rocky route to love,
15:01the halfway point of the experience is rapidly approaching.
15:05All our couples have now been stranded on Honeymoon Island for 10 days of isolation
15:11and a total lack of creature comforts.
15:14For Amy and Mike, the experience has already uncovered new layers in more ways than one.
15:20Oh, look at those abs.
15:21I can't believe it.
15:22Look at those abs.
15:2437 years old, baby.
15:26Woo!
15:26Have you ever had abs before?
15:28Back in the day, yeah.
15:30It was a bit of a younger chicken back then.
15:33Yeah!
15:34Nice.
15:35But the reappearance of Mike's abs isn't the only development on this beach.
15:40At yesterday's Couples Cove, something happened which has changed everything for Amy.
15:46I spot what I want.
15:49My hairbrush!
15:51We got my brush!
15:53We got my brush.
15:54We got my make-up bag.
15:56Oh, my God.
15:57I'm going to be looking so hot.
15:58Oh, my God.
16:00My make-up bag was filled with so many treats.
16:02This is my favourite brush.
16:07I've been dying to get my hands on this.
16:09Oh, my God.
16:10Hair journey this morning.
16:12Oh, gosh.
16:13It's a mountain, but we're going to take baby steps.
16:17I literally have giant dreadlocks.
16:24I think the hair's a bit of a metaphor for Mike and I's relationship.
16:30It started in a big mess.
16:33But little by little, we'll get that.
16:37How's the hair going, Missy?
16:39Um, terribly.
16:41Really?
16:42Let me see.
16:43Ooh.
16:45Ooh.
16:46Is that what you have to do little bit by little bit?
16:49Yeah.
16:49How long is that going to take?
16:50A very, very long time.
16:52Oh, wow.
16:53It's so good to be a guy.
16:55Yeah.
16:55Like, we get to pee standing up.
16:57Yeah.
16:57Yeah.
16:58Rub it in.
16:58We don't have to go through, like, periods and, like, women's stuff.
17:01Yeah.
17:01All right.
17:02Oh, man, it's so good.
17:04We don't have to have babies.
17:06Yep.
17:06Man, we've got it going on.
17:08Yeah, and you don't have to deal with hair drama.
17:10I don't have to deal with you.
17:11No.
17:11Why don't you go play with the fire?
17:12Yeah.
17:12Yeah.
17:13Yeah.
17:13Yeah.
17:15Can you just appreciate how good this pantry is that I made?
17:25After 10 days on Honeymoon Island, Tom is loving life in the elements.
17:30It looks good.
17:31It's good.
17:32No more mice.
17:32No more rats.
17:33But with the halfway point of the experience rapidly approaching, Emily is hoping to shift
17:38his attention from home improvements to relationship progress.
17:42Well, I have one more thing that you can appreciate.
17:45So I was feeling inspired by all the girls' new outfits.
17:49I decided to create my own new outfit.
17:51Oh, you haven't...
17:52Because I think my wedding dress can probably retire at this point.
17:54You cut up your wedding dress.
17:56No!
17:57I did something else.
17:58Wait.
18:02I created a turn-skinned top!
18:04Woo!
18:05The relationship with Tom at this point is very stuck.
18:10That actually looks so good.
18:12Does it?
18:14Show me.
18:15Wait, I can't spin too fast because I don't know how well intact it is.
18:19That looks so good.
18:21I'm trying to show that I'm keen.
18:24You happy with it?
18:25So happy.
18:26We're going to be banging.
18:27But we haven't had a kiss since the intimacy crate.
18:32Do you want to kiss me?
18:36Maybe.
18:48I do really like Tom.
18:51And I do want this to sort of go towards more romantic vibes.
18:55But I'm just not getting it with Tom.
18:58I don't know why.
19:00Eyes are up here.
19:03Do you feel, like, physically attracted to anyone?
19:06It's like, yeah, it feels like saying, like, are you attracted to your sister, you know?
19:24In a way, it kind of feels like that.
19:26I don't know.
19:27How did you go chopping it up without me?
19:28I'm going to chop.
19:29I have more skills than you think.
19:31It's like that spark, that instant kind of attraction is just still missing.
19:36It's not just a pretty face.
19:38I'm not trying to get out of this.
19:40You know, I love being on the island.
19:42And, yeah, part of why I applied for this was because I wanted this experience.
19:49Let's go!
19:50But I don't think I can ever see love developing.
19:55As the sun rises on day 11, the Stranded on Honeymoon Island experience is officially over halfway.
20:17Take a moment for the hair.
20:18And Amy's hair nightmare has finally come to an end.
20:21I can actually run my hands through it.
20:23You're a tiger.
20:24You're a tiger.
20:25Give me a...
20:26Oh!
20:26Oh!
20:27Oh, and you even got the sassy walk at the end of it, didn't it?
20:30To celebrate the halfway point of the experience, something has washed up with this morning's high tide.
20:36Oh!
20:37I woke up peeling a million dollars this morning.
20:39My hair is brushed and I'm in a good mood.
20:42I spot this little bottle and I'm like, oh my God.
20:45Island mail.
20:47Something's happening today.
20:49Is that another message in a bottle?
20:51It is.
20:52Message in a bottle, babe.
20:53Morning, sunshine.
20:54You're gone.
20:55No.
20:56Look what I found soon.
20:57Right.
20:58Hang on.
20:59Might need you to do that one.
21:00Oh!
21:01Now I need my help.
21:02Alright.
21:03Your island, which was so unfamiliar, has now become your home.
21:08As you build a life of love.
21:11Cute.
21:12That is why today you are going island-oving.
21:16Today you have guests.
21:17Bree and Byron are coming for a double date!
21:19Oh my God!
21:20Oh my God!
21:21Oh my God!
21:22For a double date!
21:23Oh my God!
21:24Oh!
21:25Woo!
21:26Woo!
21:27Yeah!
21:28That's so sick!
21:30Oh my God!
21:31Oh my God!
21:32Bree and Byron are coming to our place!
21:35We're having a function!
21:38Today, three double dates will take place across the islands.
21:43It's a much needed opportunity for our couples to catch up about their relationships in a more
21:49relaxed setting.
21:50And for Sam, it's a chance to set the record straight about the last couple's cove.
21:55You know I feel like I got made to look like a bit of a schmuck.
21:57It's important for me that Jess takes the lead on the conversation about what transpired
22:01at the end of couples cove the other day.
22:03I'm hoping that Jess has my back.
22:05Let's go have fun.
22:06Let's say hey.
22:07And then when the time does come up, explain it, clear it out for me.
22:11Even if you need to say, like, I just want to clear things up for Sam and so we all,
22:16you know, whatever.
22:17That would mean a lot.
22:18That would mean the world to me.
22:19And it would be that sort of rebuilding of trust like we were talking about yesterday.
22:25I do have some nervousness that the story might change when we get there or Jess maybe
22:31wants to avoid the conversation.
22:33I don't want to get back to our island this afternoon and having had stuff simmer all day
22:38because it wasn't addressed correctly.
22:40And I certainly don't want to make a scene on the double date.
22:43Come on.
22:44I certainly don't want to get back to our island tonight and you and I end up going backwards.
22:50Yep.
22:52As Jess and Sam prepare to set sail for Georgia and Chad's island, Bree and Byron are already
22:58on their way to Amy and Mike's.
23:00I got the fire ready.
23:02OK, brilliant.
23:04I'm so excited to host.
23:06I am a dinner party gal.
23:08I love events.
23:09I love setting up.
23:11You're making the runway?
23:12Yep.
23:13Love it.
23:14We've made the camp look so cute.
23:16I hope that they're impressed.
23:17The bed's almost made.
23:20I'm so happy it's Bree and Byron.
23:22I have a really good relationship with Bree.
23:24I brought welcome B&B.
23:27Aw, cute.
23:29I know that they've had a little bit of a struggle in terms of intimacy.
23:34So maybe today Mike and I could sort of help them on their path.
23:38Yeah, because she wants to get some and he was dilly-dallying.
23:43I'm excited to see if they've progressed to the next step.
23:47Yeah.
23:48I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it.
23:49I will.
23:50I'm going to get all of the gossip and I can't wait.
23:53I can see a huge spark between Byron and Bree.
23:56I think they're so cute together.
23:58I'm so excited to chat to them.
24:00But they're not getting with each other.
24:02I don't know.
24:03Maybe Byron's just a bit frigid.
24:05Yay!
24:07Hi!
24:08Welcome!
24:10Welcome to the party!
24:17I'm so happy it was Amy and Mike.
24:20But mainly Amy.
24:22I love Amy.
24:23We're very similar people.
24:25We have spoken about, like, me and Byron's intimacy.
24:32She's obviously going to ask.
24:34She was like, no, we're going to turn this around.
24:37I'm like, good luck.
24:39Welcome.
24:40Cheers, guys.
24:41All right.
24:42All cured, everyone.
24:43Thank you for coming on our island.
24:44Thank you for having us.
24:45To having an amazing lunch.
24:46And no doubt Amy will get involved with some drama later.
24:49I love it.
24:52Cheers, guys.
24:53Cheers.
24:54Cheers.
24:55Welcome.
24:56Voila.
24:57I always feel comfortable to ask hard questions.
25:00So, yeah.
25:01I'll definitely be asking them about their intimacy.
25:04I plan to ask them right off the boat.
25:07Um, okay.
25:08I need to know.
25:09Have you done the deed?
25:10No, do you?
25:11Man.
25:12I feel like there's a romance in there.
25:14Well, let's try and spark that up today.
25:16Yeah, maybe.
25:17He's the one who hasn't really been wanting to be that intimate.
25:20I got a smoker at home.
25:21Oh, yeah, yeah.
25:22Nice.
25:23Mental.
25:24Yeah.
25:25Like smoking me.
25:26I get all horny about it.
25:27I feel like he was really into me at first and then it's like, it kind of like, then now I, then I got really into him and then it kind of swapped.
25:34Oh, no.
25:35Is it your personality?
25:36Maybe.
25:37I don't think he likes my personality.
25:39Oh, no.
25:40Impossible.
25:41Impossible.
25:42Impossible.
25:43I'm kidding.
25:44We can flip this.
25:45Can we?
25:46There was so much chemistry between you guys.
25:47It's gone.
25:48No, you can bring it back.
25:49Yeah.
25:50Yeah.
25:51Fully.
25:52I believe that Brie and Byron can get the romance going.
25:55Yeah.
25:56Crazier things have happened.
25:58Who would have thought I'd be in a good place with Mike?
26:01All right.
26:02Everyone grab a salmon.
26:03Grab a salmon.
26:04There you go.
26:05There you go.
26:07Tell me Byron, how are you feeling?
26:09How are you feeling?
26:14I feel like I'm still kind of like going day by day.
26:17What does that mean?
26:18I'm not rushing anything.
26:20Do you feel like you guys are moving forward?
26:22In some ways, yes.
26:23Tell me more.
26:26I feel like every day we get more and more comfortable with each other and have fun together.
26:31When it comes to, like, the intimacy side and relationship sort of side of things, maybe that's getting a little bit tough.
26:44Like, Byron is such a good guy.
26:46He's a really good guy.
26:47But I think, I don't know, it's hard to say where we're standing at the moment.
26:53So, in a nutshell, you're just trying to take things slow.
26:54Yeah.
26:55And building process.
26:56Yeah.
26:57I think our relationship is growing.
26:58Yeah.
26:59Maybe not as fast as either of us like.
27:00I think we do have a very special connection.
27:01I think I'm just worried it's turning into a friendship.
27:03That scares me.
27:04We're not on Friendship Island.
27:05Like, we're married.
27:06It sucks to think that we're not working romantically.
27:09And it's hard to keep going here knowing that.
27:10Like, what's the point?
27:11Like, I could just go home.
27:12I'm not saying nothing can grow either.
27:13But we don't have any romance.
27:14I think it's just a special connection.
27:16It's just a special connection.
27:17I think I'm just worried it's turning into a friendship.
27:19That scares me.
27:20When I'm on Friendship Island, like, we're married.
27:23It sucks to think that we're not working romantically.
27:26And it's hard to keep going here knowing that.
27:29Like, what's the point?
27:31Like, I could just go home.
27:32I'm not saying nothing can grow either.
27:36But we don't have any romance.
27:38Are you guys both open to, like, moving forward in that direction?
27:43Honestly, I think Bri is beautiful in so many different ways.
27:47Are you guys attracted to each other?
27:49Are you guys attracted to each other?
28:02Honestly, I think Bri is beautiful in so many different ways.
28:16Yeah.
28:17And you are very attractive.
28:18It's just, like, there's just been no real connection on that kind of intimacy side, you know?
28:23And, like, I get caught up in my own head thinking about all that stuff.
28:28I'm not trying to do anything I don't want to do as well, you know?
28:30I feel like it's got to be organic.
28:32And I feel like those feelings will hopefully come.
28:36Bri, do you, when he says that, do you believe that?
28:39I...
28:40Yeah.
28:41But, like...
28:44To be honest, I need intimacy.
28:49Yeah, I think it has plateaued a tiny bit into a friendship.
28:52I think we're being less affectionate and we don't cuddle at night that much anymore.
28:57I feel like it's going downhill in that sense.
29:00Did you start off doing that and now you've grown apart in that way?
29:03I think so, yeah.
29:06It's hard.
29:07It is hard to hear that.
29:09I think Bri thinks we're kind of still treading water, you know?
29:13The last few days have been really tough and, you know, she thinks our friend's owned her.
29:18And, yeah, maybe she's right.
29:21One thing about this island, this experience, and I'm even surprised to say this about myself,
29:27is it brings out everything.
29:29You can't run.
29:30You have to actually attack it straight on.
29:32Yeah.
29:34I feel like there's definitely been sparks in our relationship between Bri and I,
29:38and there is an attraction there for sure.
29:40It comes and goes, um...
29:43But, you know, we're halfway through the adventure
29:47and there's only a short amount of time left.
29:50Can we find the spark?
29:54I don't know.
29:55Well, Byron, you'd better figure it out because you're at the halfway point of this experience.
30:02Meanwhile, Danny and Emmanuel are awaiting the arrival of Emily and Tom,
30:07who've had a checkered history in this experience, to say the least.
30:10I found out last night, Tom's got a girl on the outside.
30:14What?
30:15That's really hard on Emily and completely unfair.
30:18How they move forward from this, I don't know.
30:20You look loved up!
30:22I'm doing a lot better.
30:23Tom and I are in a really good place.
30:26We are having the most amount of fun.
30:27That's good.
30:28It's so lovely.
30:30But, I don't know if he's willing to go there romantically with me.
30:35Do you want to go there with him?
30:36I think I do.
30:38I think Tom really are trying.
30:39They're really trying.
30:40Emily's here for it.
30:41Tom probably isn't.
30:42Yeah.
30:43But, they're giving it a red hot go.
30:44Yeah.
30:46Hey!
30:48Welcome, welcome, welcome!
30:49Look, Emmanuel and I are great hosts and I'm really excited to have Tom and Emily here.
30:55You know, we want to have a deep chat, figure out what's really going on under the surface
30:59and hopefully find some resolution for them so they can move forward.
31:03They've got some new fit on!
31:04I like it!
31:05I know, I've got a new outfit!
31:07I like it!
31:09I think Emily does have feelings for Tom.
31:11I just don't think that Tom's giving it 110%.
31:14You want some coconuts?
31:15Yeah.
31:16I like that!
31:17I don't know whether Emily's just living in, you know, ignorant bliss or whether she's
31:20just really optimistic or whether she's just holding out and hoping for the best.
31:24Alright, let's go.
31:25Check out the setup.
31:26I like your wizard style.
31:27I'm still trying to get to know Tom.
31:28I'm just a little bit unsure as to, like, how he feels or where he stands with the relationship
31:33with Emily.
31:35Well, hey, cheers guys.
31:36Cheers!
31:37Welcome!
31:38Thanks for having us.
31:39You're welcome, anytime.
31:40No worries.
31:41Well, yeah.
31:42What's the latest?
31:43No, we actually are having a good time.
31:46Yeah.
31:47I keep saying, I'm like, we have the most amount of fun.
31:49Yeah.
31:50We get along like a house on fire.
31:51It's just that, like, next step that we're really struggling to get to.
31:55Yeah.
31:56Do you want to get to the next step?
31:58At this point in time, I think so.
32:06It scares me.
32:07Hmm.
32:08It makes me nervous because I'm like, well, what if I do allow myself to have feelings?
32:12Hmm.
32:13And then all the feelings that, you know, had happened at the start, what if they come back?
32:17Because it did hurt.
32:18Yeah.
32:19I definitely feel like I've got a guard up when it comes to Tom.
32:21Obviously, with everything that's happened, I don't want to put myself out there too much
32:26and then get hurt in the end.
32:28Do you think that you would need to hear, like, a full confirmation from Tom to be able
32:32to be like, even enter that place?
32:34Yeah.
32:35I think so.
32:36Yeah.
32:37And how willing, I guess, do you feel to do that?
32:42Like, I'm willing, for sure.
32:44Yeah.
32:45It's just, yeah, it's probably I just don't know how to do these things.
32:51I think there's things that I still need to pick up my game and still need to work on.
32:57What I need most from Tom is just for him to give me black and white.
33:01I'm willing to give this 100%, but I'm sick of all the talk.
33:07I need action at this point.
33:10Do you want to start some water maybe, babe, for the pasta?
33:14Yeah.
33:15How are you doing?
33:16Yeah, good.
33:17Yeah?
33:18Good.
33:19It's for me, I'm just stuck in this, like, do I keep trying?
33:21Do I give up?
33:22Mmm.
33:23But, and like, again, we have so much fun, but there's more to a relationship than just
33:34fun and physical connection.
33:35Fun, exactly.
33:36Do you trust him to keep trying?
33:37Like, do you trust him enough to be able to open up and keep trying?
33:44You and Emily, is it a thing that is going to be a thing, or do you feel like you guys
33:50are on friendship vibe, but still?
33:53Yeah, we're still, we're still on friendship vibe.
33:56Um, we really have to kind of really work on the intimacy side, like the physical intimacy,
34:02emotional intimacy.
34:03Was that even something you want?
34:08Yeah, it's hard at the moment.
34:13No.
34:16But then, you know, you just have to be honest.
34:20This is that hard pill of truth you've got to swallow because it just is better when you
34:27say it.
34:28Do you get what I mean?
34:29Like, that's what you need to do.
34:32I really think that Tom has to grow a bit of a backbone.
34:35It's way better for him to clear it out right now and say, hey, look, I don't want to lead
34:40you on or drag you down this path anymore.
34:42I just hope he does the right thing.
34:44Today, all our couples are on double dates across the islands.
34:58On Amy and Mike's beach, Byron has admitted that halfway through the experience, he's still struggling
35:05to connect with his wife Brie on a romantic level.
35:08Okay, let's go.
35:09And Amy has pulled him aside to dig deeper and find out why.
35:14I'm totally rooting for Brie and Byron.
35:17But I think maybe Byron has some walls up.
35:22And yeah, I'm really hoping that I can crack those down.
35:27What is the deal?
35:29Talk to me.
35:30What would you like to know?
35:31Well, okay, you and Brie, you had an instant connection.
35:35Yeah.
35:36You seem to be into each other.
35:37Things seem to like pop off on day one and then they seem to have gone downhill.
35:43So, what's the go?
35:44I don't think it's gone downhill.
35:48Are you, like, are you into her?
35:52It's so tricky to say yes or no.
35:55Like, I am into her in a lot of ways, but that physical way, I don't know.
36:00Did you feel it at the start?
36:02When I saw Brie, I was like, oh, awesome.
36:05Like, I had a massive grin on my face, you know?
36:07Yeah, great.
36:08And I saw that in her too, you know?
36:10Yeah.
36:11Yeah.
36:12When I first met Brie at the altar there, you know, I felt like there was an instant chemistry.
36:21Hi.
36:22How are you?
36:23You look so beautiful.
36:27You look weird.
36:29Wow.
36:30I'm so happy.
36:33Yeah, me too.
36:35But as time went on, we had our hurdles and I feel like the big ick is the way Brie does love drama.
36:44And after the first couple's cove, I feel like the spark sort of started failing and falling away.
36:49You know, the question is, how do we recover from this?
36:53Can we find the spark or is this it?
36:56It feels like it's a make or break scenario.
37:00Like, we're over halfway now.
37:02Do you reckon there might be any part of you that gets to the end of this?
37:06Yeah.
37:07I feel like regrets, like, not having tried harder.
37:12I came here for something real, you know, to find love.
37:16And, you know, I don't want to look back and regret not trying it because you don't want to wake up thinking, what if?
37:21Yeah, for sure. I think, I think that was, you have that in every sort of aspect of life.
37:27You were matched for a reason. The intimacy is a very important part of a relationship.
37:32Would it be the worst thing to just like, I don't know, have a more passionate kiss?
37:36That conversation, it did bring up some feelings and it did make me wonder.
37:42Yeah, I'm, I'm here to give this a crack and the door hasn't, hasn't closed at all.
37:49I'm still here.
37:51Byron's door might still be open, but on Danny and Emanuel's beach,
37:57Tom has just privately admitted to Emanuel that for him and Emily, the door is firmly closed.
38:02All right, let's get to eating. I'm hungry.
38:06It's a black and white situation right now.
38:09Emily's definitely here for a relationship.
38:10She really came onto this experience to actually find love.
38:14Does Tom really want to actually give this opportunity a try?
38:19But I'd say no, no way.
38:21I really think that Tom has to grow a bit of a backbone.
38:24Bro, just be honest.
38:26So how do you feel now, Tom? Like, how do you feel towards Emily?
38:28You guys keep saying, we're friends, we get along really well.
38:31We have the same sense of humor.
38:33Yeah, at the moment with Emily, taking into account everything that's happened,
38:37I don't know if it's, if we're going to be able to turn it into something, like, romantic.
38:42Yeah.
38:44But, you know, I'm, I'm hopeful.
38:47You know, I've said in the past that, like, she's not my type originally, but like, like, I can see, like, how attractive you are.
38:54And there's so many qualities that I like about you.
38:57Oh my God, this guy's like all over the place.
39:00He's obviously just dilly dallying around the point and not really, you know, being black or white about it.
39:06It's way better for him to clear it out right now and say, hey, look, we're just friends.
39:12Let, I don't want to lead you on or drag you down this path anymore.
39:16Are you feeling relationship or friendship at this present moment?
39:19Again, I just don't know. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I want to, I want to trust this whole process and really throw myself in, but it's a hard position.
39:28Well, seeing this like the last week, eh, you kind of, there's something you need to just decide on.
39:40And you're the only one that knows, you know, and you kind of just have to make a strong definitive decision on that, eh?
39:45If you're already kind of feeling like, okay, well, outside this, I don't see it going past what I've done.
39:51I guess you just have to be honest.
39:53So it helps Emily just breathe, you know?
40:01You just kind of have to step up. Otherwise, you're going to just both be kind of sitting in this like, I don't know.
40:06Limbo, I don't know, I don't know.
40:09And it should be now.
40:13Do you want to, like at the moment, do you see me as a friend or do you see me as something that can potentially happen between us?
40:21I'll admit, like, I'd love to have the feelings of love.
40:26I would love that.
40:29Yeah, okay.
40:31And what is it that you need from me?
40:34I just need you to, like, try.
40:38Like, I don't feel like I'm asking for a lot.
40:42Let's be real, he's not trying.
40:44At this point in time, I have no idea why Tom is even here.
40:48Maybe he wanted a holiday.
40:50I'm not going to lie, it's a great place for a holiday.
40:54I'm wasting my time.
40:55Like, if I'm being completely honest, I am wasting my time.
41:00I don't know if I can do it any longer.
41:02With his half-arsed partner.
41:07Husband.
41:09Jess and Sam are on their way to Georgia and Chad's island for a double date.
41:11Jess and Sam are on their way to Georgia and Chad's island
41:36for a double date.
41:37An outing which has arrived at a critical moment for the couple
41:41after drama at Couples Cove pushed their relationship to breaking point.
41:46After yesterday, I do feel a little bit like I'm walking on eggshells with Sam.
41:51I don't want to disrupt the peace between us.
41:55Yeah, I think I'm so hopeful that I can...
42:00..that the connection has legs and it's going to work out
42:04that I'm kind of putting on a brave face and holding it together right now.
42:07Hello!
42:08And I'm hoping that getting off the island
42:11will take, like, a little bit of pressure off.
42:13I'd just like to have fun and enjoy each other's company.
42:16No more drama.
42:18Woo!
42:19Welcome to the Big Malala!
42:23Woo!
42:26What an entrance!
42:28Dude, how are you, mate?
42:29Good to see you, brother.
42:31Mate, you look amazing!
42:32The plan for today is just to keep it fun.
42:35Hiya, Georgia.
42:37To get Chad and Georgia, I am over the moon.
42:40They're the couple out of everyone
42:42that I would choose to have lunch with for sure.
42:44And I'm not bagging everyone else,
42:46but I really...
42:47I love Chad.
42:48I think he is just the bee's knees.
42:50Can I just tell you something first?
42:52Before we get going, right?
42:53This morning, I was just standing at the water.
42:56Then I noticed this big fish and this wave hit it
42:59and it went landed in slow motion in front of my feet.
43:04You're kidding.
43:05Stop it.
43:05You are kidding.
43:06Oh, my God.
43:07Are you serious?
43:07What?
43:11There is a fish.
43:12Oh, look at that.
43:14Ah!
43:14Oh, damn shit!
43:16Oh, my God.
43:17Oh, my God.
43:18Oh, my God.
43:19Babe, babe, we've got a fish.
43:21This is the fish!
43:31It literally jumped into my hands.
43:33It's, like, over two kilos.
43:36So, that's our lunch today, guys.
43:37How serious is this?
43:38Like, who better to share it with?
43:40A gift from the island gods.
43:42I just want everyone to have fun,
43:43everyone to have a good time.
43:44We're on an island.
43:46We should be feeling grateful for this experience.
43:48So, the fish, it was a very good omen.
43:50And I think it's going to be a really good day.
43:53Well, do you want to gut the fish and I can do that?
43:55Yeah, okay.
43:56Sounds good.
43:56Do you want to gut the fish?
43:57I'll come over with Chardon.
43:58Yeah.
43:59Do you want to come with me to the watering hole?
44:01Yeah, I'm going to take my emotional support water bottle.
44:03Yeah, yeah.
44:04It goes everywhere.
44:04It was really good to see Jess today.
44:07I was thinking about her after the last Couples Cove.
44:11With all the drama.
44:13I wanted to check in on her.
44:16So, what did you guys do yesterday?
44:20Fought.
44:20Mostly.
44:22How do you feel after Couples Cove?
44:24Oh, it was big.
44:25Yeah.
44:26The Emanuel stuff.
44:28Yeah.
44:28It was not good.
44:29It was not good at all.
44:32Let me know if you need a hand at all.
44:33Oh, I knew that.
44:35Yum.
44:35You only got to do it once, dude.
44:37I didn't expect to see that.
44:37You got to do it once.
44:39That's it, man.
44:39That's it.
44:41All the stuff at the table happened.
44:43I had a bit of a chat to Emanuel.
44:45Yeah, what was that chat about?
44:47You kind of said, like, I just want to make sure that you're being heard in the relationship
44:55and you're not, like, and you're being listened to and not just, like, spoken to.
45:00Okay.
45:00It kind of, like, got a bit heavy for me internally because I don't want to be a woman in a relationship
45:07that's not being heard.
45:09And then you, like, get in your head about it.
45:11Especially, yeah, if someone says something from the outside, yeah, of course you're going
45:15to, like, think about it and be like, oh, my God, am I in that situation?
45:19Yeah, like, I was like, I need to check myself because I don't want to be that person.
45:23Maybe that's the observation that he's made about me.
45:26To be honest, I do have a little bit of fear that within this relationship I'm not being
45:31as vocal or as assertive as I should be and as I would like to be.
45:36I know that Sam wants me to say that it's not the case, but that realisation that I might
45:44be losing myself scares me.
45:46But Jess isn't the only one worried that she's losing her voice, and Sam's behaviour
45:52at Couples Cove is the hot topic across all our double dates.
45:56Jess says that she's happy with Sam, but I think there's more that's going on behind
46:01closed doors.
46:02Don't like that Sam aggressively speaks over the top of people, including his wife.
46:07He comes up with a little manipulative and, like, totally.
46:11Gaslight, a bit gaslighty.
46:13Oh, gas, gaslight central.
46:17I think Jess might overlook some of his red flags because she actually wants to make
46:23this work.
46:24I see where you're coming from.
46:25Yeah.
46:27She chooses harmony.
46:30Are we happy to talk about the elephant in the room?
46:34Yeah, yeah, I've been definitely keen to talk about sort of what happened that day.
46:38Yeah, let's talk about that.
46:39Are we happy to bring that up?
46:40Yeah, absolutely.
46:41No, we'd love to.
46:42You please, Jess, like, by all means, fill everyone in on what's been
46:46going on.
46:47It's important for me that Jess takes the lead on the conversation about what transpired
46:51at the end of Couples Cove the other day.
46:53Jess and I have already cleared up the talking over her at the table.
46:57Jess has said she's going to come to the table for that one.
46:59I'm going to reiterate that.
47:00It's just not true.
47:01So I went off to the bar and Emmanuel got up at the same time and he said, do you want
47:11to have a chat?
47:11And I said, yeah, that'd be nice.
47:12We started talking and the first thing he said to me was, I just want to make sure you're
47:21being heard and you're being listened to in the relationship, not being spoken to.
47:27And he said, from what I can see from you, you're a very emotionally intelligent woman
47:32and you're very articulate.
47:34And sometimes Sam just seems to speak for you.
47:40Can I ask what your response to that comment was?
47:43I kind of was like, really?
47:52I was confused and I went into like, I kind of mentally imploded because I was like, am
47:59I not being heard?
48:00Like, what's going on?
48:01Is that what's happening here?
48:03And then I started stressing about the relationship, I guess.
48:08Yeah.
48:08I mean, yeah, Sam is louder than me.
48:11And sometimes you're just like, you know what, like, I'm going to jump in for a little
48:17bit, I think.
48:19I'm a little bit lost because yesterday Jess said that I don't speak over in this relationship.
48:25I'm starting to get a little confused and stuff to wear this.
48:31We've spoken about this.
48:34I mean, you've said to me already in a private setting that that wasn't the case.
48:41Yeah.
48:43Yeah.
48:46Yeah.
48:53I kind of mentally imploded because I was like, am I not being heard?
48:57Like, what's going on?
48:58Is that what's happening here?
49:00I'm going to jump in for a little bit, I think.
49:03I mean, you've said to me already in a private setting that that that wasn't the case.
49:08Yep.
49:08Yeah.
49:08you second guess yeah second guessing
49:13i'm over the drama i'm over it i really thought jess and i have already cleared up
49:21uh the talking over her at the table like why are we having this conversation again 24 hours later
49:28i'm confused i'm worried that more drama is going to come from this before it actually gets better
49:36so how are you guys going to move forward now honestly guys like i can't stress it enough
49:42like i cannot stress it enough i have had enough drama in my past 12 months
49:47i am not here for this shit i'm not here for it i am seriously at my wit's end with this shit like
50:01i'm fully at my wit's end how much do i want this to work out i want this to work out more than
50:08anything else if i didn't i wouldn't be here but i am sick of the drama i've had a crazy year going
50:16through a really toxic breakup and most of all losing my dad watching my mom lose her soulmate
50:21and her partner i came here looking for love i came here looking to fall in love
50:27i remember feeling really excited at the start of this experience there's a connection there i can
50:32see it jess can see it i can feel it but i'm constantly fighting a losing battle questioning
50:38whether i can actually trust her like we're in a really unique experience and there will be blow-ups
50:45there will be you know maybe an argument or something but it's about how you guys come back
50:51together and then move past it i got to think about whether i have the time whether i have the
50:58patience whether i feel like jess is the one for me to put another six months of work into like
51:04this has been fast tracked
51:06every day sam and i go from zero to a hundred
51:13one step forward two steps back and yeah you worry about where we're going to be when we get home
51:20tonight as the day comes to an end it's time for all our couples to say goodbye and return to their
51:29married bubbles love you having you guys thank you
51:32see you guys
51:34but today's double dates have had a massive impact
51:45it did feel like for the first time i was like telling someone this is plateaued into a friendship
51:52hardcore
51:52we haven't been progressing and i'm questioning what's the point
51:57for emily a day with danny and emmanuel has her doubting tom's commitment to the experience
52:05more than ever i've just have a slight feeling tom's freaking out
52:09he's been told by multiple people he needs to start telling me how he feels
52:13are you a hundred percent in or a hundred percent out what i need is the truth

55:07the flare is a way out
55:09and
55:09i've been a bit of a flight risk this whole time
55:12in past relationships
55:14when things get tough
55:15i run
55:16and
55:17it's a common pattern that i do
55:19like there's been so many times in this journey that i'm like
55:23take me home
55:24the fact that we haven't been progressing
55:28does scare me

55:48i don't even know how i feel about this
55:54is there a future for love or growth with the person next to you
56:01this is a huge game changer
56:08i don't really know at this point in time what i'm going to do
56:13this is without a doubt one of the biggest decisions of my life
56:21i came here with the best of intentions
56:24i've been single seven years
56:28i wanted this to work
56:31i really did
56:32and i and i tried everything
56:33i don't i don't know at this point anymore
56:36and i i just
56:37i don't yeah
56:40i don't i don't know whether to give up or not
56:43yeah
57:01that's stressful
57:04wasn't expecting this
57:10i
57:11it's huge
57:14a lot to think about hey
57:16yeah
57:17especially in light of the last three days
57:20dating and relationship coach jess would say
57:23pull the flare and run
57:25there's been red flags with sam but i still see potential with him
57:32i'm not going to pull the flare but
57:34sam is pretty emotionally reactive so there's certainly a little bit of nervousness around
57:39him delivering his decision
57:42i'm speechless
57:44i'm speechless
57:47yeah we've got a we've got an eject button the flare is a way out
57:51i have definitely thought about getting out of here
57:56i think you know how big it's been for jess and i the last 48 24 72 hours take your pick
58:03it's experience been hectic
58:05i'm looking for love
58:08and the biggest thing for me is
58:11after all the drama
58:13can i find it with jess
58:16still to come
58:22i think i just heard a flare
58:30that's a flare
58:31that's a flare
58:32who
58:35i didn't think this would be so hard
58:36hold
58:37i need to start thinking with my head and not my heart
58:41the flare
58:41trust is a non-negotiable in a relationship
58:44and once it's broken it's hard to rebuild
58:46someone's gonna get hurt
59:02and once it's broken it's hard to keep it from going to the last 48," what's going to do?"
